Thank you to Ben Watson working at the University of Kent on the OPERA project for the many hints and tips included in this guide

OPERA (Opportunity, Productivity, Engagement, Reducing barriers, Achievement).

OPERA (Opportunity, Productivity, Engagement, Reducing barriers, Achievement) is a University-wide accessibility project supported by advice and guidance from the Joint Information Systems Committee (Jisc). The project commenced in October 2015 and seeks to implement a range of accessibility initiatives to raise awareness of the potential for inclusive design and assistive technologies, to improve access to learning for all.
